I'm not going to be an Spirit! (Translate)

The campaign against the Twelve Kizukis was very successful.

Although she was unable to see with her own eyes the changes in the human and demon camps' evaluations of her, Kotori Itsuka could be sure that after this battle, her prestige in both camps must have increased significantly.

In this way, Side Mission 1 and Side Mission 2 have made progress respectively.

During the battle, Tanjiro Kamado used a container specially made by Yushiro to extract Daki's blood for experiments.

Not only did Kotori Itsuka mission make progress, but Tamayo experiment also had the possibility of a breakthrough because of the high-quality demon blood she obtained.

Next, there was only one thing she needed to think about.

How to lure out Muzan Kibutsuji.

Failed to find Muzan Kibutsuji in Flower Street and lost the only chance to speed through this world, so luring him out is the only way to complete the main mission.

Although this was obviously an extremely difficult task, Kotori Itsuka was not completely clueless.

After three days of thinking, she already had a rough outline of a plan in her mind.

"Tanjiro, what do you think Muzan wants most?"

Kotori Itsuka, who had just finished lunch with Tanjiro Kamado and was walking on the streets of Asakusa with a lollipop as a dessert, suddenly asked.

"Huh?"

Faced with this sudden question, Tanjiro Kamado was visibly stunned.

Although he didn't know why the commander asked such a question, he was a serious person and started thinking about it immediately.

Soon after, he tentatively gave his answer.

"Want to overcome the sun?"

"No, it's not finished."

Kotori Itsuka nodded, then shook her head: "What that guy wants most is eternal life."

"What's the difference?"

"The difference is that overcoming sunlight is only one obstacle in his pursuit of immortality, but in order to achieve immortality, he needs to overcome more than just this one obstacle."

As a time traveler, Kotori Itsuka naturally knows a lot about Muzan Kibutsuji.

This man was almost abandoned as a dead baby because he was too weak when he was born.

As he grew up, he suffered from various illnesses and all the doctors who treated him said that he was destined to die early.

The fear of death has been engraved into his instinct since he was born.

Even though he has become a Demons and possesses powers that ordinary people cannot imagine, he still acts very cautiously, fearing that one wrong step will lead to more mistakes.

In fact, in the original work, after meeting the combat power ceiling of this world, Yoriichi Tsugikuni, he was directly defeated by the opponent's attack and his Taoism collapsed. He hid for decades until he killed Yoriichi Tsugikuni, and then he dared to show up.

This guy obsession with immortality has reached an unimaginable level.

It is precisely because he wants to obtain eternal life that he wants to overcome his only weakness, sunlight, and become a perfect creature.

It is precisely because he wants to gain eternal life that he lets the Twelve Kizuki deal with the Demon Slayer Corps and kill anyone who may pose a threat to him.

And now, for Muzan Kibutsuji, the person who poses the greatest threat to his life is no longer the Demon Slayer Corps.

It's Ratatoskr.

"In the eyes of Muzan Kibutsuji, the Demon Slayer Corps, as a group of mortals, are not much of a threat." Kotori Itsuka continued, "But we are different. Nezuko and I are both demons, just like him. With his personality, he can't ignore us."

No matter how powerful a mortal is, he cannot escape the erosion of time.

It was precisely because of this that Muzan Kibutsuji was able to survive and kill Yoriichi Tsugumi.

But Kotori Itsuka and Nezuko are different.

In the eyes of Muzan Kibutsuji, they are all Demons, creatures with infinite lifespans like him.

He couldn't outlast them.

If he doesn't take the initiative and eliminate them before they grow to their peak, even if he overcomes the sunlight, Muzan Kibutsuji will feel uneasy because there are two powerful enemies who can threaten his life.

"So, Muzan will definitely attack you and Nezuko?"

Although Tanjiro Kamado brain circuit was a bit complicated, he was not stupid. He immediately understood what Kotori Itsuka meant and asked with a little concern: "Should we stay out of the spotlight recently?"

Nezuko growth rate is indeed very fast.

After learning how to fully transform into a demon, she is now comparable to half of a complete Daki.

Kotori Itsuka is also very strong.

He fought against Gyutaro alone and was able to suppress his opponent. He can be said to be the strongest demon Tanjiro Kamado has ever seen.

However, if Kibutsu and Muzan really set their sights on them, Tanjiro Kamado still felt that their strength was not enough.

After all, in the entire Ratatoskri, only Kotori Itsuka can go directly to the upper chord.

Tanjiro Kamado and Nezuko together can barely fight against Daki, the weakest among the Twelve Kizukis. Tamayo and Yushiro have no fighting power at all.

If Muzan Kibutsujibrings the remaining Upper Ranks to cause trouble for them, it will be absolutely disastrous.

"Hiding from the limelight? Why?" Kotori Itsuka glanced at him strangely, "I'm hoping he'll show up soon."

"But..."

"Don't mistake my level when fighting with Gyutaro for my full strength." Kotori Itsuka said lightly, "That guy is not worth my full strength."

It's not worth it, it's just one of the reasons why I didn't use my full strength.

Not to mention that using too much spiritual power will lead to a frenzy state. If Kotori Itsuka really let Muzan Kibutsuji see her full strength, then this coward would probably flee Japan overnight and hide in other countries.

If this kind of thing really happened, she might be trapped in this world for hundreds of years because she could not complete the main task.

She didn't want to see this kind of thing.

Therefore, it is necessary to hide part of his strength so that Muzan feels that he can control him.

However, this alone is not enough if you want to lure him out of the rat hole as quickly as possible.

He needs some drastic measures to give him a push.

"Tell me, if Muzan knew that Nezuko and I are not afraid of the sun, would he be unable to control himself?" asked Kotori Itsuka with a smile.

"Maybe...right?" Tanjiro Kamado swallowed, "Commander, you are not going to use yourself and Nezuko as bait, are you?"

"Why not?" Kotori Itsuka asked back, "If he still remains unmoved, perhaps I can also reveal the news that Tamayo is also a member of Ratatoskr, and not only has the medicine to remove the curse, but is also developing a medicine to turn demons into humans."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Tanjiro Kamado looked puzzled.

This is too hurtful.

However, it is indeed a feasible plan.

If Muzan Kibutsuji knew that there were not only two demons in Ratatoskri who had overcome the sunlight, but also that Tamayo who escaped from him thousands of years ago was among them, and that she had even created a potion to remove the curse and destroy Muzan cells, he would definitely not be able to sit still.

If such an organization is allowed to continue for one more day, his life will become more threatened.

Once the news reaches his ears, he will definitely bring all the Upper Ranks to fight Ratatoskr to the death.

Tanjiro Kamado and Kotori Itsuka both have their own worries in their hearts.

Tanjiro Kamado was worried that they couldn't win.

What Kotori Itsuka was worried about was that she had beaten the enemy but failed to kill him.

Not to mention how difficult it is to escape from Muzan Kibutsuji method of splitting his body into thousands of pieces, just the Infinite Castle is something that Kotori Itsuka cannot deal with.

As long as they find that they cannot win, Muzan can hide in the Infinite Castle at any time.

Once this happened, it would be impossible to lure him out easily.

So Kotori Itsuka must be fully prepared.

Just as she was thinking about what to do, someone exclaimed on the bridge not far away, attracting the attention of both of them.

"Someone jumped into the river!"
